Trip Report Diving with Mr.Murphy today in Islamorada lol

[deeper thoughts]

First stop was at a reef that a shop feeds at regularly.
Not down 5 minutes and 3 nurse sharks nosing my bc pockets and a green moray wrapped between my legs
Too friendly for me, onto the next site.
Jellyfish sting on the lower lip
Looks like a got punched by Mike Tyson
To add insult to injury, my bc shoulder strap connector cracked(maybe not repairable) we will see tomorrow.
All the above not withstanding the diving was actually pretty nice:
No current, 75/77 water temp,
25 ish viz, and green water
1 foot rollers
Hopefully a few pix worth looking at later

Try one of these:

Side Release Field Repair Replacement Buckle

LIFETIME GUARANTEE. Field Repair Buckles are designed to repair broken buckles with just the help of a screwdriver. As an added benefit, there is no need to take it to have replacement buckles sewn on when back from the field. Fix anything with a buckle whether is be a backpack or dry bag.

It might rust, but better than tossing a BC.

Wow, assuming davey croker?

Was it very recently after a feeding or the resident eels/sharks progressively becoming more accustom to divers = food?
